These boulders are not yet open to the public, but partnerships through the Lookout Mountain … Continue reading Lady Crush: 03/23/2017

I put on a harness y'all. Like one that goes around your legs and waist and attaches to a rope and then you climb high - like high enough to need a rope. It's a pretty big darn deal for me to get out on a rope seeing as I have an intense fear of … Continue reading Lady Crush: 11/14/2016
